Aden to Zanzibar. Worldwide holding scattered in almost 1000 x #10 envelopes and in two envelope-sized boxes. This is a bit of a lottery, as these envelopes were used by the collector to sort their material and had pre-established all the envelopes before inserting stamps. As a result, there are lots of envelopes that are empty. But there are others that have lots of stamps (we took a random peek through some, and noticed used Canada, the 6c and 10c Jubilees, some early mint and used Cyprus, more Danish West Indies than you would normally expect, Germany, Great Britain, a nice selection of Heligoland, Newfoundland, etc). While most of the contents are loose, there are some glassines, "102 cards", approval pages etc. throughout. This appears to be a gold mine awaiting a dedicated miner. Estimate =
